Revelation 15

Not that a truly regenerate person is always in the same cheerful temper of obedience, he may sometimes find an indisposition and weariness of soul, but his weariness is his burden, he is weary of his weariness, he prays, weeps, uses all means to regain that alacrity and freedom…

The Vulgar Latine rendets it by Iustificationes; from the inclusion of Ius, Iustum in the signification of it. In the new Testament it is used, Luke 1:6, Romans 1:32, chap. 2:26, chap. 5:16, chap. 8:4, Hebrews 9:1, ver. 10, Revelation 15:4, chap. 19:8. And in no one place does i…

The points that might be drawn hence are many, for a taste take these. That Jesus Christ is Master and Lord, [in non-Latin alphabet], King of nations (Jeremiah 10:7) and King of Saints (Revelation 15:3), or as the Apostle in one place, Head over all things to the Church (Ephesia…

The introduction to all these astonishing judgments was this, Christ appears as the Angel of the Covenant, with a golden censer in his hand, and with much incense of his own merits and mediation, and offers it up with the prayers of all saints, upon the golden altar which was be…

Objection 7. But the souls under the altar cry to God, and their blood is not avenged: their blood, and their graves in their kind, make supplications before the throne for justice, yet the enemies prosper. Answer. Has not the Lord appointed a time for fighting, and suffering, a…

Now Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his Saints; and the blood of one of Them cries louder than the blood of all Man-kind besides. Now from this I argue, If the blood of a Saint cries so, what must the blood of the King of Saints (as Christ is called, Revelation…

Title, and v. 1, 2, 3. So Moses and the people with him, Exodus 15. when God had delivered them from Pharaoh, how do they exalt him in a song of thanksgiving, which for the elegancy and spirituality of it, is made an Emblem of the doxologies given to God in glory by the saints!…

The Scepter then of the Kingdom of Christ is a scepter of righteousness, because all the laws of his Gospel are righteous, holy, just, full of benignity and truth (Titus 2:11, 12). And all his administration of grace, mercy, justice, rewards and punishments, according to the rul…

The commendation suits with his works, as if there were none of them, but what are adorned (as it were) with excellent gold rings, there being much glory, grace, wisdom and skill shining in them all, they are honorable and glorious (Psalm 111:3). Indeed, great and marvelous are…

The Lord shall be King, and it is added over all the earth, not only over a few churches, but over all nations. Christ will show himself in the largeness of his power, not only as King of Saints (Revelation 15:3), but as King of Nations (Jeremiah 10:7), as head to the Church, bu…

Then atheists and blasphemers, the debauchees and profane scoffers of the age, will have their mouths stopped with an irresistible conviction; will have all their vile calumnies visibly confuted; their hearts filled with unspeakable horror, and their faces with everlasting shame…

And if you take these ways, by this you shall come to choose Moses Choice. O that now in my winding up of all, by all that has been said, some soul or other may have cause to bless God in being inclined to choose the same Choice: If you would choose Moses Choice, use Moses argum…

But O, what transcendent Joy, indeed, ravishing, will ove-run the hearts of Saints, when after so many Conflicts, Temptations, and Afflictions, they arrive in glory, and are harbour'd in Heaven, where they shall rest for ever! 2. Thessalonians 1:7. The Scripture says, They shall…

3. Object. The metaphor taken from nurses is often used, and applied to God, and to God's ministers. 1. Answer. The using of a thing by way of comparison and resemblance does not simply justify it: take the parable of the unjust steward, and of a thief (Luke 16:1, etc.; Revelati…

(2 Corinthians 10:5) And he has his royal scepter, (Psalm 110:3) which is called the rod of his strength. And he has his subjects, and they are the saints, (Revelation 15:3) King of saints. And he has his laws and constitutions; we read of the law of faith, and the law of libert…

Cain could say, his punishment was intolerable, but could not say, it was unjust; though greater than he could bear, yet not greater than he did deserve. God will not argue the case with men merely as a sovereign, but as a judge, who proceeds not by will only, but by rule: many…

Object. 6. We are called upon by David himself to sing new songs (Psalm 96:1) and oft elsewhere, and such as had gifts then used them for inditing and singing new songs, as Asaph, Heman, Ethan, etc. The four beasts (Revelation 5:9) and the 144,000 followers of the Lamb did sing…

And the saints, those noble choristers, shall take down their harps from the willows, and join in concert with the angels, praising and blessing God. Revelation 15:2-3: I saw them that had gotten the victory over the Beast, having the harps of God, and they sing the song of Mose…

The only wise God. Revelation 15:4. For you only are holy.

1. David was a King, So is Christ adorned with Regal power, he is a King to govern his people, Revelation 15.3. and to conquer his enemies, Psalm 110.1.2.

(2) It is evident from Deuteronomy 32:39, where the Lord speaks of himself, I, even I am he, and there is no God with me. (3) Because God is Omnipotent, and so cannot be hindered by any other in his working (Revelation 15:3). (4) It is evident from Christ's words to the young ma…
